Darjeeling & The Himalayas
Darjeeling - Home to the Himalayas
Train trips are replaced with afternoon jeep rides through the Himalayan foothills to Darjeeling. It will take 4 hours before you stand in the afternoon shadow of the third tallest mountain in the world - Kanchenjunga. It will be a breathtaking moment with big sister ‘Everest' towering in the distance! Welcome to Darjeeling!
Service with Dr Das
Dr Das is the Principal of Planters Hospital and a respected medical practitioner of the Darjeeling community. As with all yLead Expeditions, we like to give back to the communities that we visit and as such, we serve him by bringing Christmas Cheer to his Centre for the Handicapped run by the saintly Missionaries of Ch
arity. On this occasion we are their medicine, bringing Christmas Presents, songs and spirit to these very special people.
The Sandakphu Five Day Trek
It is said that trekking originated in Darjeeling 80 years ago. After an early morning two hour drive from Darjeeling to Manebhanjang, a small village inhabited by Buddhist Sherpas, the charms of the Himalaya gradually unfold. Traverse through dense forests and sleepy hamlets. This Sandakphu - Singalila trek will enable you to discover Himalayan interiors unscarred by humankind. The trek is challenging, invigorating and positively therapeutic!
